What is AVI?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container Microsoft introduced in 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. It's one of the oldest and most widely recognized video formats and can wrap many different codecs, but its age means it lacks modern features and tends to produce comparatively large files.
AVI was developed by Microsoft.
Opening AVI files on a Mac
QuickTime Player only opens AVI files that use Motion JPEG video with PCM audio; most other AVI files won't play or preview without VLC or a converter. macOS recognizes the AVI container, but whether it opens depends entirely on the codecs inside.
